Site Specific Health, Safety and Environmental Plan <br /> 13 <br />Compound Physical/Chemical Characteristics <br />(Target Organs/ Route of Entry) <br />OEL <br />(STEL) <br />Odor <br />Threshold <br />LEL <br />(%) <br />IP <br />(eV) <br />kidney damage, and anemia. Reacts with <br />acids and oxidizers, copper reactions may <br />release flammable gas (hydrogen). <br />IDLH: 100 <br />mg/m3 as Cu <br />Chromium III <br />inorganic oxide <br />compounds as Cr <br />(1308-38-9) <br />Exposure routes via inhalation, ingestion and <br />skin exposure. Dust may cause respiratory <br />tract and skin irritation. May cause allergic <br />reaction in certain individuals. Poorly <br />absorbed into the human body and exists <br />primarily as a nuisance dust. <br />0.5 mg/m3 as <br />Cr (III) <br />Soluble <br /> <br />N/A N/A N/A <br />Chromium VI <br />inorganic <br />compounds as Cr <br />(both water-soluble <br />and insoluble <br />varieties) <br />(7440-47-3) <br />Exposure routes via inhalation, ingestion and <br />skin exposure. Some Chromium (VI) <br />compounds are confirmed human <br />carcinogens; corrosive irritant to skin, eyes, <br />respiratory tract; deep skin ulcers; not <br />(always) immediately painful; an allergic <br />sensitizer; 5 grams ingested can be fatal. <br />Reacts with strong oxidizers, alkalis, oils, <br />grease, paper and plastics. <br />0.0002 mg/m3 <br />as Cr (VI) <br />(0.0005 mg/m3) <br /> <br />Ca <br />N/A N/A N/A <br />Cyanides, as CN <br />(57-12-5) <br />Skin, eye, inhalation, and ingestion hazard. <br />Very poisonous. Death can occur within <br />seconds of inhalation or ingestion. A <br />chemical asphyxiant; headache, weakness, <br />confusion, unconsciousness, convulsions, <br />coma, and death; cyanide salts, liquids are <br />corrosive to all body tissues; characteristic <br />almond odor. Reacts violently with, acids, <br />nitrates and peroxides; releases highly <br />flammable and toxic HCN gas. <br />5 mg/m3 TWA <br />Skin <br /> <br /> <br />N/A N/A N/A <br />Lead and inorganic <br />compounds as Pb <br />(7439-92-1) <br />Primarily an Inhalation and ingestion hazard. <br />Symptoms include weakness, insomnia; loss <br />of appetite, loss of weight, abdominal pain; <br />anemia; tremors; weakness of wrists/ ankles; <br />kidney damage; low blood pressure. <br />Incompatible with strong oxidizers, hydrogen <br />peroxide and acids. <br />0.05 mg/m3 <br />TWA <br />IDLH: 100 <br />mg/m3 <br />N/A N/A N/A <br />Nickel compounds, <br />as Ni <br />(7440-02-0) <br />Exposure routes via inhalation, ingestion, <br />skin and/or eye contact. Target organs of <br />nasal cavities, lungs and skin. An upper <br />respiratory irritant; skin eruptions and <br />allergic dermatitis; nausea, vomiting, <br />giddiness from ingestion; insoluble <br />compounds are confirmed human <br />carcinogens. Nickel salts can react with <br />potassium, strong oxidizers, or mineral acids <br />to form toxic, flammable or explosive gases. <br />Elemental - <br />1.5 mg/m3 <br />Soluble - <br />0.1 mg/m3 <br />Insoluble - <br />0.2 mg/m3 <br /> <br />Ca/IDLH: 10 <br />mg/m3 <br />N/A N/A N/A <br />Silica, crystalline (as <br />respirable dust) <br />Exposure routes primarily via inhalation but <br />skin and/or eye contact are also of concern, <br />0.05 mg/m3 <br />TWA8 <br />N/A N/A N/A
